Zinc oxide is highly efficacious in fighting fungal infections by causing the fungi to either deform or stop its conidiospores from developing, leading to its death.

This is because Voi is made fresh, with no additives, or artificial anything … so what you are seeing and experiencing… is ‘nature’.

If during the patch test, or any other time, you notice a reaction, discontinue use immediately and seek medical advice.
